In King Kong, a man finds a gigantic gorilla, King Kong, in Africa. He takes the gorilla to New York City. King Kong escapes and terrorizes the city. FX scenes show Kong fight with dinosaurs, a giant snake, and a flying reptile. Later in the movie, the giant gorilla climbs to the top of the Empire State Building and holds a tiny woman. In many scenes, King Kong was only an 18-inch model, but he looked 50 feet tall. The movie actually frightened many audience members.
